Fantastic venue at Box End, simple, easy registration and well organised throughout. Plenty of changing facilities and refreshments available. Instructions were given in a clear manner, preparing me for my first race. The course was clear with bright buoys and wide enough for all the different race distances. Great event - I shall be back!

This was my first event and I was quite nervous but I thought this event was really well organized. It felt very safe, with plenty of safety kayaks around. It was a great venue and there was lots of kind support. 10/10. Well done and thank you.
